shall_v not_o press_v they_o once_o to_o be_v this_o length_n to_o know_v upon_o trial_n what_o may_v be_v the_o certainty_n thereof_o and_o if_o such_o a_o advantage_n can_v be_v true_o reach_v here_o as_o to_o make_v the_o poor_a man_n life_n more_o sweet_a and_o comfort_v under_o all_o the_o toil_n of_o his_o hand_n than_o if_o he_o have_v the_o great_a estate_n of_o the_o earth_n 4_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a what_o these_o can_v possible_o reckon_v upon_o their_o condition_n in_o be_v man_n as_o desirable_a above_o that_o of_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n who_o have_v so_o little_a either_o in_o hand_n or_o hope_v to_o be_v comfort_v to_o know_v only_o a_o sensual_a life_n with_o so_o small_a and_o almost_o indiscerneable_a advantage_n to_o satisfy_v the_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a many_o such_o entertain_v a_o hope_n of_o a_o blessedness_n to_o come_v whilst_o they_o be_v whole_o stranger_n to_o a_o life_n of_o grace_n here_o but_o oh_o it_o be_v at_o such_o a_o rate_n that_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n must_v be_v false_a if_o they_o be_v true_a 5_o how_o amaze_a also_o be_v it_o to_o see_v for_o what_o these_o perish_v and_o lose_v their_o immortal_a soul_n which_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o high_a interest_n than_o the_o glory_n and_o riches_n of_o all_o the_o monarchy_n in_o the_o earth_n yea_o of_o more_o value_n than_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n yet_o as_o if_o this_o be_v but_o some_o trifle_n how_o easy_o do_v such_o hazard_v the_o same_o for_o the_o small_a gain_n yea_o it_o may_v be_v say_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v satan_n without_o the_o wage_n of_o visible_a pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n which_o other_o have_v in_o the_o world_n 6_o yea_o how_o strange_a be_v it_o how_o many_o such_o who_o trade_n and_o employment_n lie_v most_o at_o sea_n who_o thus_o have_v such_o peculiar_a enforce_v argument_n to_o be_v serious_a about_o religion_n yet_o be_v so_o visible_o loose_a in_o their_o walk_n and_o stranger_n to_o a_o

christian_a walk_n to_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v beyond_o question_n but_o since_o what_o you_o have_v speak_v as_o to_o many_o of_o these_o be_v too_o visible_o manifest_a what_o be_v these_o press_a motive_n and_o argugument_n that_o such_o who_o calling_n lie_v most_o on_o the_o sea_n have_v more_o than_o other_o to_o take_v religion_n deep_o to_o heart_n answ_n you_o may_v judge_v what_o a_o press_a call_v such_o have_v to_o be_v in_o great_a earnest_n about_o their_o eternal_a state_n 1._o who_o be_v through_o most_o of_o their_o time_n so_o near_o a_o border_n with_o

great_a body_n of_o the_o sea_n how_o it_o be_v with_o such_o advantage_n make_v passable_a for_o transport_v and_o commerce_n the_o regular_a course_n of_o its_o ebbbing_n and_o flow_n with_o the_o singular_a use_n and_o subserviency_n of_o the_o tide_n how_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o also_o with_o gate_n and_o bar_n and_o have_v its_o appoint_a bound_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n how_o a_o bank_n of_o sand_n can_v restrain_v the_o great_a ocean_n break_v forth_o o_o what_o a_o book_n be_v thus_o spread_v open_a for_o sea_n fare_v man_n to_o read_v and_o bring_v near_o their_o thought_n with_o wonder_v to_o fear_n and_o worship_n he_o who_o voice_n be_v so_o know_v on_o the_o wighty_a water_n who_o turn_v the_o most_o impetuous_a storm_n into_o a_o calm_a at_o his_o

such_o to_o be_v who_o have_v not_o only_o be_v oft_o surprise_v with_o prevent_v mercy_n when_o they_o be_v not_o aware_a from_o dash_v on_o some_o shelve_n or_o rock_n or_o fall_v in_o on_o a_o bank_n of_o sand_n and_o thus_o bring_v out_o of_o great_a hazard_n even_o before_o they_o be_v put_v in_o fear_n but_o have_v oft_o likewise_o be_v rescue_v from_o the_o very_a jaw_n of_o present_a

their_o thought_n of_o enter_v into_o endless_a eternity_n and_o meet_v grim_a death_n with_o such_o a_o surprise_n be_v it_o not_o then_o a_o matter_n of_o earnest_a to_o pray_v or_o will_v you_o then_o have_v dare_v to_o break_v forth_o into_o a_o oath_n yea_o what_o a_o bless_a state_n be_v you_o then_o make_v to_o reckon_v those_o in_o who_o have_v be_v former_o serious_a about_o religion_n and_o how_o soon_o may_v such_o a_o surprisal_n meet_v you_o again_o 4._o what_o ought_v such_o to_o be_v and_o be_v accountable_a for_o who_o know_v how_o many_o thousand_o have_v be_v swallow_v up_o in_o these_o devour_a depth_n and_o hear_v of_o such_o ordinary_a shipwreck_n whilst_o they_o be_v yet_o preserve_v oh_o do_v not_o this_o marvellous_a long-suffering_n and_o tenderness_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v some_o serious_a voice_n have_v it_o yet_o never_o tend_v to_o melt_v your_o heart_n with_o sorrow_n and_o contrition_n for_o so_o sad_a a_o return_n you_o have_v hitherto_o give_v to_o such_o forbearance_n 5._o what_o solemn_a and_o express_a engagement_n be_v many_o if_o not_o most_o of_o such_o under_o and_o accountable_a for_o which_o their_o lip_n have_v utter_v when_o trouble_n be_v upon_o they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o very_a brink_n of_o perish_v that_o if_o some_o extraordinary_a cast_n of_o providence_n have_v be_v defer_v but_o a_o very_a few_o moment_n long_o they_o have_v be_v lose_v now_o set_v i_o serious_o ask_v what_o do_v you_o real_o intend_v be_v it_o to_o deal_v deceitful_o with_o the_o most_o high_a and_o be_v no_o more_o serious_a in_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o when_o you_o be_v once_o at_o land_n if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o can_v you_o dare_v to_o pray_v and_o plead_v with_o the_o holy_a lord_n in_o a_o new_a strait_n oh_o let_v i_o beseech_v you_o lay_v this_o to_o heart_n and_o that_o to_o make_v use_n of_o your_o present_a calm_n at_o sea_n for_o make_v sure_a your_o eternal_a interest_n will_v help_v to_o make_v a_o

some_o of_o these_o so_o far_o from_o under_o the_o awe_n and_o dread_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v not_o more_o concern_v to_o put_v to_o sea_n and_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n without_o any_o
